The library, a Carnegie on the National Register of Historic Places, was designed by WH Weeks and built in 1918.

The Yolo County librarian corresponded with James Beltram for roughly 20 letters when $3,000 was finally offered to construct a new branch in 1917.

Yolo was defended with the fact that its current facilities were out of date and that it served a large rural base.

William Henry Weeks, designer of the Woodland Public Library, was chosen as the architect.
